Lagon is an open-source runtime and platform that allows developers to run TypeScript and JavaScript Serverless Functions close to users.

<Callout type="info">
  Lagon is in Alpha. Get access to Lagon Cloud via the [waitlist](https://tally.so/r/n9q1Rp)
</Callout>

Current status:

- Dev: In heavy development, features are being added and APIs have breaking changes
- **Alpha**: Missing features and bugs to fix, progressive access to Lagon Cloud ([waitlist](https://tally.so/r/n9q1Rp))
- ~Beta~: Stable APIs, last features are being added, Lagon Cloud available without a waitlist
- ~General Availability~: Cloud and self-hosted versions available for production usage

## Features

- JavaScript Runtime written in Rust using V8 Isolates
- Native Web APIs like `Request`, `Response`...
- 100% open-source
- Deploy APIs, SSR(ed) websites, Webhooks endpoints, Cron jobs...
- CLI to manage Functions and develop locally
- Deploy at the Edge using the Cloud version, or self-host it

## Roadmap

The roadmap is accessible to anyone on GitHub. Feel free to open an issue to discuss new features that you would like to see implemented.

[See the roadmap on GitHub](https://github.com/orgs/lagonapp/projects/1)

## How it works

Lagon uses V8 Isolates, which are sandboxed environments used to run plain JavaScript. That means each Function's memory is isolated from each others, and you can run a lot of them at the same time with very few resources. [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/), [Electron](https://www.electronjs.org/), [Deno](https://deno.land/) (and [Deno Deploy](https://deno.com/deploy)), [Cloudflare Workers](https://workers.cloudflare.com/) are also using V8 Isolates to execute JavaScript.

Starting an Isolate is a lot faster than starting a whole Node.js process, which allows for almost free cold starts.
